sparkindarknessThere are rumours flying round the office now...
One of our partners may have been acting "inappropriately"
This could cover everything from wearing a really tasteless ties to axe murdering his clients
This is damn vague, but it is OMINOUS.
You can tell by the tone of voice and how the Hounds are whimpering.
This could be bad
very bad
*mental breakdown*

Date: 2006-08-17 03:22 pm (UTC)In other words, one was using the blog to discredit his company, the other posted evidence of her own breaches in company policy. Both made either themselves or their employer identifiable and the second one is actually going to court over it with apparently quite a good case.
Sparky's done neither, he hasn't mentioned his firm or his clients and hasn't provided proof of who he is, and as such there isn't really any grounds for trouble over this. Hell, we don't even know for definate that these are real events or just a different type of story he writes (GMDave would be an example of someone doing just this)

And yes, thankfully Sparky's been very careful to carefully only refer to people as Mad Clients and Haddocks! (although I'd keep a watchful eye on Mad Secretary if I was him...)

Date: 2006-08-17 05:28 pm (UTC)But you have to be seen to be acting unprofessionally - but my anonymity protects me.

Date: 2006-08-17 05:22 pm (UTC)Nah, nothing i've done is fireable (maybe them telling me to stop) because my identity and the identity of my firm is not available here. i can't be said to bringing the profession into disrepute or the firm into disrepute because of that

Hope this doesn't have any effect on you, best of luck

Date: 2006-08-17 03:20 pm (UTC)The company flew him to headquarters, fired him and posted off duty police at the local company.
The thing is once he was gone there was no one to stand against the main corprate from gutting the business.

Date: 2006-08-17 05:39 pm (UTC)But, to be honest, I'd be fairly of an opinion that his affairs (unless he's shagging on company time( are not the company's business
Ah, perhaps they were looking for an excuse

There were people that a) hated the pUnion and b)hated that work wasn't going to their facility. I can understand the union part but intracompany sabotage is a sickness.

Date: 2006-08-18 05:54 am (UTC)The big boss' job has been on Hotjobs, and the ad had been pulled. I don't know what's going on, and I don't know who knows. I've kept it from my journal because I don't know who reads it.
The general manager we have now is the first decent one we have ever had. The thought of who might replace her is a bit nerve-wracking.
And the managerial politics have been interesting for a while. The two managers who have been my biggest supporters are the least-liked in the bunch, and they don't always get along.
